Patch

so sata_mv doesn't recognise my adaptec card... I'm guessing it is the right driver, just needs the PCI id 'cause it works fine in CentOS, just not in the xen.org kernel.

I could try to backport: http://www.mail-archive.com/mm-commits@vger.kernel.org/msg19427.html

+       /* Adaptec 1430SA */
+       { PCI_VDEVICE(ADAPTEC2, 0x0243), chip_7042 },

so just guessing I want something like:

*** sata_mv.c.orig	2009-04-05 22:42:56.000000000 -0700
--- sata_mv.c	2009-04-05 22:51:13.000000000 -0700

  	{PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MARVELL, 0x6081), 0, 0, chip_608x},
  
  	{PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ADAPTEC2, 0x0241), 0, 0, chip_604x},
+ 	{PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ADAPTEC2, 0x0243), 0, 0, chip_7042},
  	{}			/* terminate list */
  };

but that would mostly be flying blind, and I figure the redhat guys are better at this than I am.

(ok, I lie, I'm testing this first but I am guessing it's not going to work.)

so I'm downloading the RHEL src: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm

I believe I need to add the following patches from the specfile in the following order:

# SATA Bits

Patch21480: linux-2.6-sata-super-jumbo-update.patch

as far as I can tell 21480 is the one i want... it adds support for my card. I might be able to stop here
